Plant Trees Save Earth

About Us

ReGreen Chennai is a ten years program. A healthy environment requires a green cover of 33%. What Chennai had before Cyclone Vardah was just 4.5%. Post-Vardah this has further got eroded. ReGreen Chennai would join the initiatives of the Govt, Corporation of Chennai and several nongovernmental organizations and strive to reach the target of 33% green cover in ten years, along with creating sustained awareness and action towards rain water harvesting, waste water management, general water resources management, and support to suburban agriculture.
